Pakistan beat World XI to win T20 series

Pakistan beat World XI by a thumping 33 runs in the final Twenty20 Friday (15) to clinch a three-match series which marked the return of international cricket to the country.

Set a target of 184 to win, the World XI only managed 150-8 at Lahore's Gaddafi Stadium to concede the series to the home team by 2-1.


David Miller and Thisara Perera scored 32 each while Hasan Ali took 2-28.

Pakistan opener Ahmed Shehzad had earlier missed his second Twenty20 international century when he fell for 89. His 55-ball knock included eight fours and three sixes.

Babar Azam made a 31-ball 48 with five boundaries and added 102 for the second wicket with Shehzad.

Pakistan won the first match by 20 runs on Tuesday before the World XI fought back with a seven-wicket victory on Wednesday (13) to set up Friday's decider.

More UK homeowners are slashing asking prices as buyers push back

  • Homes that need a price cut take around 100 days to attract a buyer, compared with 28 days for accurately priced properties.
  • One in three property sales involved at least one asking price reduction, according to Savills.
  • Premium homes face some of the steepest price corrections as London's housing market remains under pressure.

Setting the right asking price could be the difference between selling a home in weeks or waiting months, according to new UK property market research.

Estate agent Savills has found that homeowners who overprice their properties are taking significantly longer to secure buyers, with many eventually forced to cut their asking price. The findings come as the UK housing market remains price-sensitive and buyers continue to be cautious.
